KIDSTUFF PR: NEW CLIENTS


Discovering what’s new from a social media channel is the new normal. Online shopping is now a snap. But a mere 10 years ago, this was revolutionary! KidStuff earned the bragging rights as a pioneer and leader in the arena of manufacturers effectively working with bloggers. In fact they developed a proprietary method of vetting and working with the highest traffic, most professional blogs. The agency works with nearly 250 bloggers who are moms or dads, and some have subject specialties in arts & crafts, traveling with kids, homeschooling, green lifestyles, décor, educational toys, and science.

SmartNoggin




With over 30 years of experience under her belt, SmartNoggin founder, Marcia Haut, set out to create a company with a simple and ambitious goal – help parents lay the foundation for all future learning. As a front-line provider and developmental therapist for children with special needs and a mother, Haut was frustrated that she could not find a product to encourage important early milestones in infants. There was a need in the market and NogginStik was the first to fill this need, but Haut did not stop there. While the product line currently consists of two products—NogginStik and NogginRings—there are plans to extend to a whole line of Milestone Makers™ developmental products.
